Big Changes

• Saving changed to MySQL & SQLite
• Command structure has changed
• Placeholder API placeholders changed
• Permissions changed

Please report any issues with this update! Thanks <3

Saving now uses SQL to store data, allowing easier indexing

This allows three new config options:

• nickname-protection.online.enabled (Prevents people from setting the same nickname as someone else who is online)
• nickname-protection.offline.enabled (Prevents people from setting the same nickname as someone regardless whether they're online or not)
• nickname-protection.offline.expires (How many days a nickname should be protected for, if the person doesn't log in) Other new config options: require-permission
• nick : whether the basic nickname commands should require permissions set by a permission plugin
• color : Whether nicknames can have color without having permissions set by a permission plugin
• format : Whether nicknames can have formatting without having permissions set by a permissions plugin
• who : Whether you can look up who a user is based on their nickname without having permissions set by a permissions plugin

New Commands:

• /nick who <nickname> tells you the username of the player with the supplied nickname
• /nick save can now take in an argument, so you can now do /nick save <nickname> if you want to save something that isn't your current nickname
• /nick admin lookup <username> will display a user's current nickname, as well as their saved nicknames

Changed Commands (Admin Commands)

• Admin commands are no longer running from the same commands as the normal nickname commands, they are now as follows
• /nick admin set <username> <nickname>
• /nick admin reset <username>
• /nick admin delete <username> <nickname>

Removed:

• Removed the ability to save a nickname for someone else
• Removed the 'restrictive' and 'full' admin permissions, when setting a nickname for someone else, the plugin will always use the admins' permissions for parsing
• Removed the 'save' permission, for the above listed reason

Permission Changes:

• Added: simplenick.bypass.nick-protection - Allows bypassing the new nick protection options
• Color permissions have been moved out of the 'nick' node, and into their own 'color' node, and 'reset' has been moved into the color node

Old	New
simplenick.nick.color	simplenick.color.basic
simplenick.nick.gradient	simplenick.color.gradient
simplenick.nick.✨	simplenick.color.✨
simplenick.nick.format.reset	simplenick.color.reset

• Format permissions have also been moved out of the 'nick' node, into a 'format' node

Old	New
simplenick.nick.format.underline	simplenick.format.underline
simplenick.nick.format.italic	simplenick.format.italic
simplenick.nick.format.strikethrough	simplenick.format.strikethrough
simplenick.nick.format.bold	simplenick.format.bold
simplenick.nick.format.obfuscated	simplenick.format.obfuscated

• Admin nickname set permissions have been consolidated

Old	New
simplenick.admin.restrictive	simplenick.admin.set
simplenick.admin.basic	simplenick.admin.set
simplenick.admin.full	simplenick.admin.set

Placeholder API changes:

• Placeholder now starts with simplenick to be consistent with the permissions and other naming schemes
• Two new placeholders have been added: prefixed-mininick and prefixed-nickname
• The prefixed placeholders will insert the configured prefix, this was previously the default behavior, so you might need to use this one if you need that

Old	New
%simplenicks_mininick%	%simplenick_prefixed-mininick%
%simplenicks_nickname%	%simplenick_nickname%
None	%simplenick_mininick%
None	%simplenick_nickname%
